He could have as well played a cooler, less annoying character - I believe that could have been better promo than him gabbling rather incoherently about the CD.

I'll agree that WWE could have created a better spot for Meat Loaf, but he did his best with what he had to work with. I'm sure I was not the only person watching RAW that night who was talking about Meat Loaf's appearance the next day. Somewhere out there someone saw RAW and said, wait Meat Loaf has a new album out? Just getting his name out there and getting talked about is a positive. Is the Rolling Stone advertisement better than the RAW appearance? I think not. Meat's appearance on RAW has the same power with the wrestling audience as a nod from Oprah has with her audience.
